I know there are a few threads out about this topic. If you aren't aware of the Ecotech Coral Lab white paper, here is the link: http://ecotechmarine.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Ecotech_CoralLab_WP1.pdf
I have attempted the Battlecorals Radion settings and as discussed in that thread, it seems to be a matter of acclimation and aesthetic preference.
But the real question is "Who is seeing growth of Acros with Radions?" I hope to build a thread where we can share before and after pictures. I am in the process of adding a number of Acros to my tank and I am starting with the AB setting. I will try to post progress the best I can. If anyone has additional experience, please share.
I am targeting Alk at 9-10, Cal at 420, Mg at 1250-1300, NO3 at 5 max of 10, PO4 < .025 but not 0. I am also measuring Iodine, Fe, and K using Red Sea Colors. My dosing is using Red Sea Colors A-D and Energy A&B. I have 2 Radion Gen2 on the sides and 2 Radion Gen3 in the middle. The dimensions for my 150 are 72x20x24 LxWxH. I have a 50 gal sump with mangroves, chaeto (Kessil purple for growth), a Reef Octopus Diable XS200 skimmer upgraded with a VarioS-4 pump, 2 MP40wQD powerheads, a Vectra L1 return. Just a quick comment on the Varios, the ramp set up when the skimmer is powered off. I ramp it from 40% to 100% when it comes back on to prevent overflow and the integrated float control are great.
I have 40-50 Acro frags that I am adding to my display tank next week. I am using this more to document than anything with hopes of finding an optimum Radion setting after tweaking. Follow and contribute as you would like.
